DOCX to Markdown Converter
Runs in your browser — your files are never uploaded.
Convert a Word document into Markdown you can commit to a repository or paste into a CMS. Headings, bold and italic, lists, links and tables are mapped to their Markdown equivalents; Word’s presentational styling is deliberately not, because Markdown has no way to express it and pretending otherwise produces a mess. Everything runs in your browser, which matters for documents — contracts, reports and drafts are exactly the files that should not be uploaded to a stranger.

Frequently asked questions
Does it support the older .doc format?+
No. The old binary .doc format needs Word itself to read reliably. Open it in Word or LibreOffice and use “Save as” to produce a .docx first — the tool tells you if you supply the wrong one.
What happens to images in the document?+
They are not extracted to files. Markdown references images by URL, and there is nowhere for an embedded image to live, so image-heavy documents will need those handled separately.
Why did my custom styles disappear?+
Markdown has headings, emphasis, lists, links, quotes and code — and nothing for fonts, colours or spacing. Styles that map to a Markdown concept are converted; the rest are dropped, and the tool reports how many.
Are tracked changes and comments included?+
No. The converted text is the document as it currently reads, with revisions applied and comments left out.
Is my document uploaded?+
No. It is read and converted entirely in your browser — nothing leaves your device.
